The story was new and fresh to me as it was ghost x humans etc. Personally I enjoyed this theme so very much and it was interesting, never bored me, it made me tense up for wanting more and for what was next as I asked myself possible reasons or outcomes for the main conflict.
The characters were literally morphed into the story and they made the story themselves as a whole because it wouldn’t be it, if even a single character was missing. The chemistry, familiarity was strong with the two main Characters. They knew what they were doing and how to capture their roles, of Lovers who couldn’t be. The feelings and emotions they portrayed were very real nothing seemed fake it was so realistic even though it wasn’t realistic per say, (if you believe in the otherworldly and stuff) but, nonetheless the fact that they made it feel like everything.happening in this drama was realistic should tell you how well it was.
The ending was the cherry on top of the beautiful molded cake, to be finished and made a whole beautiful cake, without the cherry it’d be an unfinished cake, and I’m glad that it was done the way it was, happy endings usually are not done with these type of bl dramas and romances stuff, but I would just be so broken if it didn’t end on a good note, and it really much did.
Thank you for this drama and thank you for reading, I hope you bless your soul with this drama and take home the beautiful and at the same time, painful/scary message it offers. <3

The music didn't particularly catch my attention but it was lovely and fit the show.
And finally, I don't think I'll ever rewatch this show but I could if I had time lol. But it was a fun ride, a sweet short story that made me excited for Ohm's next dramas!

A wonderful series worth watching again. I watched the eight episodes on one day and I don't regret it. I was spellbound and still am. The actors were great - especially Singto, whom I love since Sotus. I felt the pain and understood his thoughts and actions. I loved the support characters, especially Khiem. The twists in the story were at least a little bit predictable, but that's nothing which could harm the great story writing and acting. Everything that happened in this series fit perfectly.The ending, which is definitely a happy ending, is for me a little bit sad. I can't stop thinking about their future: How will they live? Than can see him, talk to him, feel him; but he's the only one. He can't live with him like a normal human being, which brings me to the next question I'm asking myself: How will they handle their life? Mes will watch Than aging, getting older than him, graduating, getting a job, live. In the end, Mes will watch Than die, and that's the thing which forced me to cry for mostly an hour straight after finishing the last episode. I can't get over this relationship which is doomed to fail. But at least I think, that's the best ending which could happen. At least they can be together, even if they can't live together.

Story is also really cohesive. There are some easter eggs which lead to revelations later in the story. There are some loopholes, but they are forgivable.
Lastly, there were two Harry Potter references to this. As a major fan of HP, I am really glad. Maybe one fo the writers is an HP fan?
I would recommend everyone to include this in their watch list. The premise might be light but it is well worth your time to watch.

To be honest, I had reservations about watching this show because I thought a love story between a human and ghost would feel silly, forced or awkward, but somehow they really did manage to pull it off.
He's Coming to Me is one of the sweetest shows I have seen in a while, with the relationship between the two leads feeling natural and believable from the start. While there are plenty of comedic moments, the tone of this series never strays too far from the melancholy; at no point is the viewer allowed to forget that one of the main characters is dead, and that is played to poignant effect from start to finish.
Emotionally engaging throughout and with a great soundtrack and solid performances from the entire cast, this show was really an unexpected treat. Both the lead actors have matured since their roles in Sotus and Make It Right, respectively, and they felt right together. The supporting characters were also well-played, especially Praifah.
And finally, props to the writers and director for not bloating the show with unnecessary side-characters and sub-plots. Everyone who appears in this show has a reason for being there. At just 8 episodes, the pacing felt right, without dead space and go-nowhere filler episodes. Too many dramas tread water in this way, so it's refreshing to see this sort of compact, on-point storytelling.
If TharnType gave heat to the 2019 BL scene, He's Coming to Me gave it heart. If you've been sitting on the fence about watching this one, give it a try.

Best supernatural rom-com
Supernatural? Check. Romantic? Check. Sad? Check. Comedic in many aspects? Check. Mysterious? Check. This is the best love story I have watched with a mystery as its core reason for the interaction of the two main characters. Despite having ONLY 8 episodes, the writers did not waste time developing the plot. I had so many lights blub moments where I went 'Omg, that makes so much sense." or "god damn it! Why didn't I think of that?". I recommend this to everyone that enjoys the supernatural genres. While watching this show, I felt like I was playing a game of murder mystery. The ONLY issue I had with this series was the side stories, and it was dragging some of the episodes that I skipped some parts to make the show focus more on the main characters. Though compared to other BLs, the side stories are not THAT bad. AND WOW, this series is very underrated? I believe this show is a gold gem. 100% recommended!Cet avis était-il utile?

This was GREAT!I was expecting to be disappointed with the supernatural story line (especially after the trainwreck of "My Dream"), but boy, was I pleasantly surprised. This is up there in the 3 favorite Asian series I've seen.
As someone who never bought into the SingtoKrist thing in either of the SOTUS series (although I did like them in Our Skyy), as well as not particularly liking FrameBook in Make it Right 1 & 2, my expectations were low. But I LOVED both Singto and Ohm in this. Their chemistry was undeniable, the acting from the entire cast was on point for the whole series and the storyline was really compelling... I couldn't wait to see what would happen next, from week to week!
My only complaint was in the last episode, where the grandfather admitted to everyone that he intentionally premeditated--and carried out--Mes's murder, for his own selfish reasons of wanting Mes's money... and everyone quickly just forgives him, with no questions asked. I mean, come on! He MURDERED someone and gets away with "sorry I murdered Mes, but since I feel really bad about that, I'll start a charity in his name." ...well, I guess that makes it all okay then! That was my only problem with anything in the entire series, which is why I rated the Story as a 9.0 instead of a 10.
Fantastic series, which I highly recommend!

When I first saw the trailer, I already knew that this was not going to have a happy ending. Since I am a sensitive person, I thought that it's going to be emotional and wasn't planning to give it a try but yet I did, for both singto and ohm. The first few episodes were so heart-warming, comical, and sweet. I really enjoyed the story-line, even though most of it didn't really make sense. A ghost who couldn't reincarnate because he didn't know the reason of his death? I didn't enjoy that idea much, but I still went with the flow.
I really liked the love square between prince, Plaifah, Met and Than (sorry, I am not sure about the correct spellings)
Also, It was kinda emotional how Than was trying to figure his feelings out. I did ship Plaifah and Prince from the start though XD!
The comic relief in this series was very unique XD I honestly loved Gun and Ampere's Duo and I wanted them to have more screen time together, Unfortunately they appear rarely till the end.
And in the name of lord, Singto rocked it!! I was so impressed with his natural way of acting. He has really come a long way from sotus.
Ohm was a genuine sweetheart throughout the series. I loved his character.
The ending had me on the edge of my seat. I must say, the novelist has done a good job with the story and the actors rocked it.
The music that was played as the ost in this series had a deep meaning to it and It really matched the emotional atmosphere,
That's all I have to say, This is a gem in the history of gmmtv.

Old and tired story made short & cute
So. We have Singto, who is way more mature in both looks and acting skills, than this... Ohm Pawat? To call the main duo uneven would be an understatement.The beginning had potential, but just as soon as Singto's ghosts lost his walkman, I felt like this show lost its charm. And I really didn't need to watch some investigation of how the ghost died: I actually appreciated when they first showed us it was a "simple" heart attack.
Unfortunatelly, nothing was treated as good enough as it first was, from the big picture to minor details (the ghosts gets new clothes, which are more lame than the previous ones, etc.) and many unnecessary things were added. Seems the material was good enough for 1,5 hour long movie and then someone decided to change everything about it to make it "last longer"...
I would have preferred if Singto's ghost knew his own name and remembered his life. After all, he was supposed to be his person, not amnesiac. Amnesiac means no personality. But of course, amnesia-loving scriptwriters never seem to realize this. It would be more fun to just let everyone and everything to interact with this "guy from the nineties", rather than "investigate" who he was and who killed him. While that seems "dramatically attractive", truth is that watching your family deal with your death and eventually forget about you completely and then simply watching the life go on without you gives you way more interesting a character depth than being stuck in one place with no memory and then released to the modern world just to solve some scriptwriter-invented mystery about what happened to you decades ago.
And because it's not logical for the character to be himself and NOT remember anything, they let the character remember only some things, depending on how the scriptwriter currently needs it. Yeah, it's not difficult to write scripts like that.
Ironically enough, after the main boy took the ghost boy out of the confinement of his graveyard to the wide world outside, it started to be hundred times more boring. With the two boys spending most of their time asking local librarian about 20 years old records (I didn't particularly wish to see them becoming a couple, but had they at least flirted then maybe this would be bearable) or asking temple monk about how to bring back lost memories, or interviewing old neighbors, I considered dropping this series already. It was more "fun" when the the ghost was still hanging around the graveyard with his fellow ghosts. (They were still better than the alive boy's friends.)
I was bored. They tried to make a bit fun about the main boy often appearing to be talking to himself. But today's times, all he needed to do is get an earpiece. Nobody should pay notice enough to make it a gag.
I considered dropping this by episode 5. I just couldn't help myself, the theme of being a ghost is lame to begin with. I didn't care who killed him, either. At last in episode 5 finally something moderately dramatic/romantic begins, nevertheless in this series, I did not really care who ends up with whom.
There's a kiss in episode 6. I don't really care whether I'm watching gay or straight romance, what's important is the romance itself. The intimate scenes, if they work, are powerful enough to compel the audience into watching even a weak general story. On the other hand, hideous looking kiss can kill the romance completely and destroy everyone's good work on the series. The producers should therefore always consider carefully whether the skinship scenes are good enough to put in (there CAN be a good romance without kiss scene/s, you know). See? I didn't even go into criticizing how stupid is for the ghostboy to suddenly materialize his 20 years dead body for the other boy to touch:) No, let's not think about the physical decay now, lol.
This one is more on a cute side, that is funny. After the two boys discover they can touch (and therefore jump in bed together) they share a modest peck and the next morning main boy's mother comes to hang out in his room, playing her youth age music, which is actually music ghost boy likes to listen to:) She is in good humour being suddenly able to share her taste with her son. Not knowing the real cause of this, of course:) Nevertheless, it's also inadvertently pointed out that the boy is actually romantically bonding with someone whose soul is close to his mother's. Yay fans, enjoy your ghost romance:-p
But when it's revealed the mother actually dated the ghostboy in the past, I thought that enough is enough, lol. When the mother is able to see the ghostboy too, the idiocy is completed. Of course I understand the "logic", the boy had to inherit his abilities from someone, lol. But it's idiotic that they did this to the "romance story". This had it all in episode 1.
Anyways, his mother and the ghostboy share a "touching conversation" which reminded me of US series 'Ghost Whisperer' with Jennifer Love Hewitt (I don't know a worse thing to compare it to). There is also a scene where the main boy tries to convince his friends about the ghost presence. Another "fun scene" is him going inside the house ghostboy died in, looking around as if he expects some proof of his murder 20 years ago jumping on him at plain sight (suspense soundtrack is playing, of course, lol).
But, of course, soon he finds a "secret room" and we get our "detective" story solved, luckilly it was more of mild, slice-of-life kind of conclusion. That goes for any lovestory here, too. So I actually appreciated the final episode. The last bed scene is also far from action one, lol. One moment the main boy asks the ghost boy if he's asleep, yet. The idea of a ghost who is sleeping is so ridiculous that it's cute, so it fits here:) I also appreciated the way their ability to "touch" was explained. But, I wasn't really moved by their sad story. The only "deep" thing about this couple was that one of them was a ghost. Else in honesty, these two did not make a couple that I would be engaged to watch.
I found the last emotional parting scene on the graveyard really like something from 'Ghost Whisperer'. I couldn't help but smirk. Singto's tears did not move me this time (try another genre next time:) Weirdly enough, I even cared more about his two fellow graveyard ghosts he was leaving behind, perhaps because THEY were the most fleshy characters around (first role I didn't mind Ampere in). But! The real ending saved it. Thank goodness this was not left with either teary or mindlessly happy ending. It was just right, and funny. It kind of redeemed this (still pleasantly short) series.

STORY: The story overall is original, with a lot of thought put into it, plot twists etc. This is something that we haven't seen yet and it's just overall beautiful! Also what I loved, it that the fact that Than being gay isn't the main focus on the series but rather the fact that love between Than and Mes won't ever be the easiest and the most "normal" or traditional and of course it will be hard for others to understand un thus a lot of hardships will come with it. Also I this is one of the rare BL's where characters are actually said to be gay and not just "oh he's an exception". At first, I really liked this in BLs but the more you watch BL series, the more you see how occasional it is so the fact that they openly said that the characters are gay and not just in love with each other is a big plus from my side. Overall the story is really beautiful and it contains a lot of small details which can help you to discover the plot twists and let you think more into the story.
ACTING/CAST: At first, I decided to watch the series only because it was a BL and for the cast. I knew most of the actors (Ohm, Singto, Sing, Chimon, Gunsmile, Ampere, Guy, JJ) from their previous works and was really excited to just see them in new work and they sure didn't disappoint me! <3 Ohm's acting has become so much better and you can just feel all of the emotions from him. Singto as well. I saw a lot of people saying that it will be hard for them to watch the series since Singo had already started in a BL with Krist (SOTUS) and that ship was pretty big around the BL community so it's understandable that some hardcore shippers were kind of pissed that GMMTV were ruining one of the greatest BL ships. Of course, at first I had a thought about this but after the first 2 episodes, you see that Singto can also play a gay role with other actors and not just Krist which is a great point because a lot of actors aren't really comfortable. I could even say that this pairing is much better (sry peraya fans). Overall Singto's acting has become greater as well as Ohm's so I'm really happy about that. Also, the actress who played Than's mom was amazing. You can feel that she is talking with her heart as if he's her real son who she's talking to.
MUSIC: I just loved that they used mostly old songs from the mid-'90s and most of them I even downloaded right after cause they all felt so sweet and genuine. Few were sad and few were happy songs and they were really nicely placed around the moments so there weren't any awkward silent moments. Thai music is overall really great so these series won't disappoint you with that.
REWATCH VALUE: For whether I'm going to rewatch them or not, we'll see. I probably will because they're not that long and when you have nothing to do it's a really nice one to rewatch and just smile like an idiot c: But also I would like to rewatch them knowing all the details because a lot of times when you rewatch series you see certain things much differently than before when you didn't know that something's going to happen.
OVERALL: As I already said, these series are just beautiful because everything just comes together so perfectly. As for whether this needs a season 2...I doubt. This is a small beautiful moment that shouldn't be ruined just because fans want more. If GMMTV decides to do something similar to ReminderS with these series, I'm all for it. No need for a full-length season but just a small reminder of the happiness that lightens up my day <3
